Do you believe that time can be such an enemy that it can tear your heart apart? Is it possible that the human heart is so illogical that we are powerless to stop it?
In the warm city of Chennai, a solitary man—Dhruv, a successful manager by profession but burdened by a deep void—moves through life, longing for a love that can consume and complete him.
When Anara, a quiet and sad young woman from Kochi, joins as an intern under his mentorship, their paths cross in ways neither of them expected. For Dhruv, Anara feels like the answer to his long-standing emptiness—a sign, perhaps, of destiny. But for Anara, a promise made long ago still holds her heart—one that carries no hope, but refuses to let go.
What happens when Anara’s clinging hope challenges Dhruv’s sense of destiny? Can Anara separate love from guilt? And what if time—silent and merciless—has already decided their fate?
Anara is a poignant exploration of human emotion, guilt, and the complexity of choice when time becomes the enemy.

Joshua Melinecs
Joshua Melinecs is a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Specialist with a deep passion for building inclusive environments and telling emotionally grounded stories. He found solace in writing during his early working years, especially in moments of solitude away from his hometown.
Though his journey began with scattered poems and an unfinished love story on his laptop, it was a rewatch of the Tamil film Iyarkai that reignited his literary pursuit. Discovering its connection to Dostoevsky’s White Nights gave Joshua a new direction—not just to write stories, but to explore the quiet, complicated intersections of love, longing, and choice.
Anara, his debut novel, is an emotional slow-burn set against the backdrop of South India. It marks the beginning of his voice as a fiction author, where characters wrestle with memory, morality, and meaning.
